Monday, March 3, 2014 horoscopes by Eugenia Last

taRies (March 21-April 19): Don’t jump into something without doing diligence. The decision you make based on your findings will keep you from making a costly mistake. Getting angry will be a waste of valuable time. Take care of business, and don’t share personal secrets. tauRus (April 20-May 20): Concentrate on learning, and gathering ex­ perience and opportunities will surface. Don’t be too quick to share with someone who is likely to use the information against you in a competitive situation. Personal and professional partnerships are highlighted. Gemini (May 21-June 20): A change of heart will lead you in a much better direction. Offering assistance to someone inspired to take the same path will enable you to accomplish much more as a team. Get any agreement in writing to avoid problems. CanCeR (June 21-July 22): Do something creative that captures your imag­ ination. Too much idle time will lead to boredom and expenditures that you cannot afford. Check your moodiness before you blame someone else for your dissatisfaction. Make peace, not war. LeO (July 23-Aug. 22): You are heading upward and must not let anything or anyone stand in your way. Make calls that can change your life or your direction. A move or the way you live will improve if you embrace change. Expanded interests equal greater possibilities. viRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Keep a tight lid on the way you feel, especially with regard to contracts, settlements, and money. Listen to what’s being said. Collect information that is pertinent to a decision or response you will be expected to make. LibRa (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Test the waters. Make your choices clear, and you will tempt someone you least expect to see things your way. Offer positive alternatives, and use your intellect and ability to find solutions. Lead the way, and you will attract allies. sCORPiO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Make whatever job you do speak for your integ­ rity, work ethic, and ability to take whatever you are given and turn it into a masterpiece. Once you put your project behind you, plan a little downtime with friends or family. saGittaRius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Take a step in the right direction. Make a couple of personal improvements, and you will raise your self-esteem and invite others to compliment you on your progress. Social events should be attended; they appear to be encouraging romantically. CaPRiCORn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t expect everyone to agree with you. Be prepared to take the bad with the good. Have your answers and suggestions ready. Don’t make changes that will upset your personal or emotional situa­ tion. Walk away from negative influences. aQuaRius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Take the role of the person in your group who gets things done. Wheel, deal, and make plans that are geared toward mon­ eymaking endeavors. Do your best to advance by making positive changes to the way you earn your living. PisCes (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t let confusion set in. Help others without making a cash donation. Greater focus should be put on ways to develop your creative dreams. Join groups that share similar interests. Love is on the rise, but you must avoid secret affairs.

The win was the seventh straight for the Black and Gold, completing a three-game sweep for the second time in consecutive weeks. Hawkeyes win ugly The win improves Iowa’s overall record to 9-1, the program’s best start since 1940. “The guys showed some toughness on Sunday, playing a good team in Furman,” head coach Rick Heller said in a release. “Defen­ sively, we were outstanding, Heller had an errorless head coach game and al­ lowed very few bases-on-balls again, very few free bases all weekend.
